To me, it's not about the meaning. I don't really care. He puts together some cool stuff that's interesting to look at. Nobody else on YTMND does that. So what if you don't "get it"? There is quality in his work, you don't have to strain to appreciate it.

This is the first YTMND I have seen by ROY4L, here is what I gather from the visual symbols (and how they relate to Miss Temple):
"Famous" - The sign is fading in the U, I attribute this to the concept of fame being short-lived.

"Pig" - This one gives me the most trouble. Miss Temple was seen as cute, and is wearing blue. I think the Red Pig may be opposing imagery to that concept of her. The Pig does have a Halo though, I believe it suggests that it is a good Pig/Child Star.

"Stars" - Besides the obvious, the stars are very colorful and attention grabbing, much like the hype that surrounds the class of star Miss Temple belongs to.
“Heart” – Love, Sex, Passion of one sort on her left. Miss Temple and the many girls/women/females like her have always been Sex Symbols of varying degree.

“Nickel” – Money on the right! And Nickels were worth a lot more back then. o_O
“Glass” – She’s timelessly encased in her best moment… or trapped like a bug.
“Drums” – These are yet another gimmick placed on top of Miss Temple to draw more attention and create more hype.

Third, I like the way something so adored and well known is represented by symbols in such an odd and confusing manner. I can’t imagine showing this to an Adult who watched Miss Temple as a kid… this imagery is powerful enough to shatter their perceptions of a relatively important symbol.

Seems like the list of grievances against Roy4l's sites range in the "I wanted something funny, but got this", "I don't want to have to think about my entertainment so I'll call it pretenious", and "I'm too lazy to try and find a theme so it's a 'WTF' site" areas. Is what Roy4l does high art? Hell if I knew- but is it meaningless? To say that is a cop-out. Just admit you didn't understand (I don't) and move on.

Also, how the hell is this art, or artsy? You people make me sick. Stop thinking anything you don't understand is art, chances are it's crap. And this, this is crap. Go back to Soothing the Savage Beast as Picard, and not taking a dump and putting it in YTMND form.

it took me a bit, but then I realized... everything in that was deliberate.. in the image atleast.. you totally lost me with the sound though, and ignore the people who dont get it.. I may be 18 but I did watch some shirley temple stuff...
on and the description is quite appropriate

When you say how "pointless" roy4l's ytmnd's are, you only show your own stupidity. All of his works have hidden messages in them that mean something. So, you're either under the age of 12 or just didnt get past an elementary school level eductation.

Analysis: The Child is trapped under a Glass Cup. She is performing acts for people. The famous neon sign and pig indicate their explotation of the Child itself. The Heart and Coin indicate what is given to the child itself. Nickle meaning not alot of money at all, chump change. Heart meaning Love and adoration of the child. Basically she is a exploited child trapped and not being paid well, the "pig" is the people exploiting her for what money they can milk from her.

Interesting. The glass part reminds me of the SNL sketch where he wanted to keep Brocktoon in a big jar in his basement. Speaking of which, her breath should fog up the glass. Also, accurate or not, this NARV term everyone uses is really unimpressive.

Also, sorry for the double vote, but people have to realise that YTMND was never set up to be a "funny" website, since people seemed to 5 funny websites more, it became the logical choice to make funny websites. However, people will have to realise that YTMND has a lot more potential than just comedy. Roy4l is a prime example of what YTMND can be used for.

This is right up there with "Willy Wonka's Acid Trip" and "Man Watches Conan Stare Into His Soul" for biggest WTF ytmnd's of all time. Artistic and creative, plus a misleading title to catch the pedos.
